Thread: Unreal Engine 5 - Showcases by artists, demos, concepts.
Hype Thread
I think the first one will be Redfall this summer. STALKER 2 also uses UE5 but who knows when that will release. Most UE5 games don't have a date yet.

We'll see if the next generation can escape the Unreal Engine stutter curse

I'm looking forward to games implementing all the lighting tech that's possible with UE5. Desperately needed, way more important than more detailed textures or other effects.

That's completely left up to the developer. We pre-compile our shaders before even loading the UE editor. UE's built-in streaming code for compiling shaders on-demand (it's inheritly asyncronous) causes havoc on the FPS with most games because of the complexity of the scene shaders. But it's trivial to force the shaders to compile on level load or even at the title screen (ala Horizon ZD).

IMO I don't think the graphics hardware is powerful enough for this without some frame generation tech (ala Nvidia's DLSS3). I'll know more details about this as I spend more time with UE5.
As so often when a new UE hits, it'll take the next gen to fully make use of it. Still, I hope that it's scaleable enough to improve the "standard" level of lighting quality this gen.
These are incredible. And the forest environment is exactly what I've been asking for them to showcase since the UE5 hype started. Now I can get excited. And that foliage was even moving! Very impressive it wasn't just static.

Can't wait till this makes it to games!
I remember the physics race back when physX was a selling point. Hopefully the spirit of that makes a come back.

The water itself is looking great, but the reaction to the characters movement is totally wrong. Those wide round "waves" caused by every move.... that's not how it should work.

I want that volumetric smoke and those explosions in ALL games, so good. Nice physics on the shirt as well.
Next console gen will be lit I guess.
- 100% procedural generated 4 sqkm map
- Photogrammetry scanned assets
- Ultra highres Nanite foliage
- Lumen dynamic lighting
- Virtual Shadow Maps
- Full dynamic wind
- Player foliage interaction
- Hundreds of different assets
This is the first time I've seen a forest environment that actually looks realistic in terms of fauna biodiversity and ecological succession. Running in real time. Then there's the fact that it's supposedly procedurally generated. I would never have guessed that. It's actually still hard to believe.
That looks really damn nice. UE5 will shine next gen (it's been designed for next gen, current gen is only able to scratch the surface).

Dont think this is ue5, but the graphics were so good experts didnt believe they were cg.
This looks pretty cool, will check that out later tonight
